updates!

I personally do NOT think we will ever see another update past froyo...

We might get a froyo update to fix bugs and what not but as far as 2.3 ect, they will leave the epic by the wayside and focus on the galaxy S2 series and other newer phones. The epic was just a complete failure and they know it, thats why they are come out with galaxy S2.
[Epic 4G General] ms79723:
well idk, its a tough call...

took a long time for froyo...

but then you can look at it like "well samsung sees how the US folk are all pissed off so they might start trying to release more updates bla bla"

if the epic does get gingerbread, dont expect any update past that..because past that Samsung will expect us to do our part and buy another Samsung device.
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
I think personally Gingerbread will come just to rebuild some goodwill with the people of this country. Then maybe with that, we would buy the next uber Samsung phone. At least by getting Froyo, my Evo owning friend can now shut up how his Evo is soooooo much better than my Epic because it hbas Froyo (even after showing him my pics and videos look better, screen looks nicer, can play more vido formats natively) because that was the only thing he could point at. Now we're even.
[Epic 4G General] ydoucare:
If Gingerbread comes, it's not going to be for a while; otherwise, why would they have bothered releasing FroYo?
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
Don't confuse Samsung, LEAVE EB13 as it stands!!

Finish GB so we don't have to wait until 2.4 or 2.5 drops before we get 2.3!

Oh, I don't know, but maybe you could look at the 16 page long bug thread in this very forum.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
i already ported gb to my phone now im doing ic.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I'm not gonna bother because that thread was about the update.zip

I'm talking about a clean install with the .exe

Wiped caches and everything

The only bug was the sportsmode fc, which was caused by one line of missing code (really samsung?)
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
Well said. At this point, I have no outstanding issues with my Epic running EB13, as the Genocide 0.3a kernel fixed my only issue, the low light camera/vid one.

I tried the up[date.zip, had issues, use the SWUpdate and it eliminated all my issues except the one, and the kernel update fixed that.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
That's the method I used and have not experienced any issues other than the Camera (which has since been fixed). As a matter of fact, the memory management is phenomenal compared to DK28. My order of install was Samsung's executable, CWM2.5.5, Deodexed EB13, Genocide 0.3a (contained the camera fix) and the battery icon app (changes battery icon and %).

Everything is working well so far, but I really haven't put it through a lot of testing outside of my normal, daily activities.
[Epic 4G General] Ranger093:
I'd suggest the new Syndicate rom, MUCH better than the stock deodex and the data works much more fluid.

It makes sense to release Froyo and then Gingerbread. If they went ahead and released Gingerbread then everyone would be like, oh cool thanks Samsung for what you should have done in the first place. If they release Froyo and then a month later they release Gingerbread, they "show" their users that they have "changed" their ways.

Sprint to release a GB update for Epic

Ok, so I actually work for Sprint and let me tell you...I troll the developer "insider" site thru our intranet and there is absolutely NO talk of GB for the Epic. In fact the boards are lit up about the pulled update for Froyo and revamping that so they can OTA it again.

Listen if the CM7 build is progressing as quickly as it looks...and they can work out that 4G beast, that is going to be the quickest...and best...way to put GB on the Epic. You can trust me on that one.

Why on earth would Samsung allocate any resources to the EPIC when they are working on new phones? This rumor I don't believe at all...

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] MrOtsKrad:

Tried but failed, but it looks like it requires HC sadly.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
I'm sure it'll run once we have HC set up. The NC has a powerful (for an android device) GPU.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Link3737:
I wouldn't go as far as to say it's "powerful" :p

It's got the same GPU as the Moto Droid, which benchmarks just a tad bit below the Nexus One. Considering the Nexus One is significantly below the Galaxy S/Tegra 2 phones, we're basically at the low end of the GPU spectrum.

Which isn't too bad considering this is an E-reader :)

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dkelley:
try owning a hero if you want low end. nook blows it away. not nearly as high performance as my galaxy tab mind you, but nook color is definitely sufficient for most 3d operations.

I too have been wondering WHY body needs honeycomb... will be interesting to see if it can possibly run on something other than the xoom.

Please ... where exactly do I put that xoom fingerprint in my android os to make it appear as a legit honeycomb device in the market?

"ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/trygon/stingray:3.0/HRI39/101999:user/release-keys

xoom market fingerprint"

edit: oh nevermind - I'm going to assume it goes into build.prop. let me play wtih that a minute...

edit2: still can't see the body app on the market with that fingerprint in build.prop.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bjitty:
I'm also wondering can those of us on the Honeycomb preview change our SDK version to 11 in the build.prop to allow us to install some of the Xoom apps? Might have issues I know but worth a shot.

I'll try it on my NC when I get home. Just curious if anyone else has tried it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
It's run every game I've thrown at it (other than ones with compatibility issues, e.g. Mystique). I'm sure there will eventually be apps it's not powerful enough to run but I don't think there's any currently.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] epakrat75:
I have a modified HC sdk image that it shows up as a XOOM to Google. It's more than just a simple fingerprint change but nothing too complicated either. I actually have a Market ID too so I can see my NC's HC device when logged into the web based market. I also modified things so that it appears to apps that I've API level 11 installed since that's why the Google Body app was failing to install (parsing error). So now it installed and I've got the Google Body app icon showing in my launcher. However, it just force closes when run. I'm think it's the difference in the APIs, etc between the SDK preview and the final build that might be holding it back. Perhaps updating some of the "Lib SOs" would improve things, I don't know. If not that, then it's might be because it only supports the Tegra platform. In that case, it's probably hopeless unless Google to expand on that?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 360Razir:
Can you please post the details of what you did for other changes to your NC, besides the fingerprint. I downloaded the 'build.prop' for the Xoom already, but only changed a couple of lines in my NC's .prop file. However, I do not see Google Body in the Market.

I would like to get my NC to look as much like a Honeycomb device as possible.

Thanks!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] epakrat75:
Sorry, I wasn't clear. Google Body still doesn't show. I expect that's because the Market may be looking at the fact the NC's build.prop doesn't say "Tegra" like the XOOM does. Can't change this since the device won't boot that way. However, pushing the APK via ADB worked. It previously failed to even do that with the stock HC v4. If it would help several others out, perhaps I should create a new thread offering a mod, etc to automate some of the changes since I had to do more than the modify build.prop itself. There will likely still be some manual steps and the patch will require working adb (even though many commands already run automatically).

can you post what steps you did? doesn't have to be automated, but I would like to know how to get google body on my NC, right now i'm running Honeycomb off of the SD card.

Need to return my leedroid 2.2.2 to stock.

Somehow i have lost eng s-off. Tried to install different radio but it wouldnt allow me, as bootloader says ship s-off. So have been advised that i need to downgrade again, and go through the s-off / root process again - Here

How do i go back to the easy rooted 1.32 stock again. I have an RUU for that version, but its not seeing the phone. Found a workaround - Here - but it only got so far before the phone froze, and the installer said it couldnt find phone.

Thought for a minute i had bricked the phone, so after crapping myself, decided to seek help here on how to return to 1.32!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leppie:
Look at the rooting tutorials for 1.72.

AFAIK, you need to change the version number for this to work (to allow downgrade).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeXa:
Do you have ship s-off or you do not?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
You can't flash a radio because you don't have eng s-off, therefore no fastboot commands.

Just flash any ruu you want using the pd98img.zip method and all shall be stock. Launching an ruu update from your pc is notoriously unreliable and I would never recommend it.

Here is a guide to the method if you have no idea whet I'm talking about.

Had tried to flash pd98img from my sd card but kept getting some error (cant remember what it was now, will check again later). So thought maybe needed to use the RUU to go back to a stock ROM, but was just guessing at that. Will have another go at PM98IMG when i get home from work.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
You have Radio S-OFF, so you do not have to use the downgrade guide. Just flash 1.32.405.6 stock ROM using PD98IMG.zip (get that from the downgrade guide), and then you can use my Radio S-OFF tool to go S-ON. You can also check the S-ON instructions in my tool thread.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tones1971:
Thanks. I tried last night to do this (though i was going to go the full downgrade route) but couldnt get it to install. But i was selecting the zip from sd card, which i think is wrong? (hboot will pick the zip up itself?)

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mailaliasgar:
I'll be visiting India for a month and would like to use my Fascinate with a local carrier while I'm there and continue with Verizon once I get back. Do I have to unlock the phone? Is it possible? and how?

I have used GSM phones successfully over there in the past but this is my first CDMA phone, so I don't know much about it.

I found this, but don't know if it is Sprint specific.

TIA.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashasaur:
Not very likely. CDMA phones can't be unlocked nearly as easily as GSM phones, if at all. You have to basically flash a new radio ROM that will work with whatever CDMA carrier you are going to be using the device on. I would search around and see what you can find, by my personal searching points to no.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m91-30:
our phones don't use a sim card, so it's highly unlikely you could use it over there. however, verizon offers loaner phones for out of country use.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenisiz:
If the carrier will allow flashed phones, the fascinate is as simple as it gets. Flash mip and all other information along with prl using qpst build 323. Then plash ppp for 3g using build 215. Yeah, it's that simple.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mailaliasgar:
Thanks, I didn't understand half of it but I'll Google it up :)

If I do all this, will I be able to use my phone with Verizon once I get back?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadowchasr:
Heh; semi-derailing of topic and food for thought.

A co-worker of mine has a vibrant (T-mobile). Apparently you can flash GSM to CDMA and vice versa, but it breaks a lot of stuff :)

Note: I said 'flash' - I didn't say anything about it working. Your phone will boot though and it'll look like that version you flashed... but it don't work.

This is why you search before bricking (I'm a bit over novice with software and got outta brick mode with a little help from here).
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashasaur:
Welllll....basically you just flashed a CDMA ROM maybe, because flashing GSM radio information to a CDMA device(which I doubt would even work) would most certainly brick your radio.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSonicEmerald:
Pretty sure the CDMA radio on the Fascinate will NOT work on the other major CDMA carrier which is Sprint, and the Fascinate will definitely NOT work with GSM carriers such as AT&T and T-Mobile. Although, it is entirely possible to flash to another minor carrier such as MetroPCs or Cricket, with special instructions of course.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ErikWithNoC:
While messing around with the colors and themes in the registry I wondered if it would be possible to make the ChromeColor value transparent. This value applies to the background of the keyboard, as well as the "drawer" type thing (were all the buttons are kept in apps). I think it would be interesting to see and could help free up some screen space (visually, not necessarily functionally). However, I'm a little timid in changing the value myself. I'm not good at anything related to coding really (only small time practice) so I don't know if its possible to change the value to simply "transparent" and have it take effect. The values seem strange because they're FFCCCCCC, while online they typically seem to be FFCCCC so I'm assuming it's CSS values (is there a numerical value for transparent?). I'm worried that if the value is changed to a non numerical value that something will go wrong.

Has anybody tried this? If you know if this works/try it out please let me know as I think it could be really cool for the ChromeColor to be transparent.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JoniJi:
Sure, this is possible. The first to digits are the transpareny values. In Hexadezimal-Code F is the highest number. So FF is fully untransparent. Fully transparent is 00 in front of the colour value. 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,F this is the order and with that you can change the percentage of transparency.

For example the code #00000000 is fully transparent and black.:)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] thesecondsfade:
Doesn't fully transparent mean there is no color?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ErikWithNoC:
Alright, thanks for that info. #00000000 turned out to be white (I think), but #00FFFFFF is truly transparent. It's kinda neat, only problem I've identified is that it doesn't take effect in all apps. In the messaging app when I bring up the keyboard its transparent for a second, and then goes to solid black. Not quite sure why thats happening if its supposed to be reading the same registry value. Also, some of the drop down menus (when an app has an error/something at the top of the screen like the music) don't have the backing so the text is unreadable. I think it's best to just stick with solid black.

Once you have the app open you need to go HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> ControlPanel ->Themes. The "0" folder is for the light theme and the "1" folder is for the dark theme.
